ETERNAL GLORY

2 Corinthians 4:17
“For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.”

Today’s Bible verse, encourages us to see that, by comparison, the very worst suffering experienced on earth is only “light and momentary” when compared with the glory of the eternity with GOD that is to come. The comparison is one of magnitude and time. I’d weighed on a scale, any suffering in this life is far outweighed by the glory of the life to come. Measured in time, the suffering here happens in an instant, it is short-lived, and will be replaced by glory that lasts forever. And forever is a long time compared to the length of years a person spends on this side of eternity. Knowing this truth from the Word of GOD, gives believers good reason not to lose heart, not to give up, even when the suffering in this life feels unbearable. Our suffering here is not meaningless; it serves a purpose to someone redeemed by the blood of JESUS CHRIST. GOD by His SPIRIT,  is working nonstop preparing His bride for her future glory, and that glory is GOD Himself.
With this in mind, who’d refuse to honor and glorify GOD even when life treats us unfairly? —“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” Romans 8:18
We believe it, so, we live it!
